Unable to walk from pelvic mesh problems – what can be done?

Some patients can be left unable to walk from having had pelvic mesh fitted. This can completely change everything, and it is important that we – as specialist Vaginal Mesh Lawyers – are able to do everything in our power to help.

It can ensure that a victim receives some form of justice for what they have had to go through, and a claim could also factor in private treatment where applicable.

Claim for internal injuries caused by vaginal mesh

As medical devices designed to be implanted as a long-term solution, vaginal mesh implants should be used with safety in mind. Using medical devices inside the body is never something that should be taken lightly at all. Many patients that are presented with this treatment option may assume that the materials and structure of vaginal mesh implants are intended to prevent injury risks, but not all such devices have been successful in this regard. Those who have been hurt or wounded by vaginal mesh may be able to claim for internal injuries that they have suffered from, and we may be able to help you now.

Unfortunately, recent years have seen a wave of reports in respect of the potential health complications of vaginal mesh, among which there have been a range of different internal injuries that people can suffer from. Such injuries can also have their own side-effects that can provoke serious difficulties in the everyday lives of the affected patients.

In our view, it is worrying that these devices were allowed to pass supposedly stringent safety regulations, and that many doctors have recommended this course of treatment to their patients. It is for this reason that we are helping victims to pursue compensation claims to account for any injustice.

Claim compensation for the cost of private surgery

Despite being used as a form of treatment for many years in the UK, vaginal mesh implants have been associated with incredibly harmful and debilitating complications for a long time now. The only hope of reversing these side-effects can be further surgery in some cases, but difficult mesh removal procedures are not easily available due to the expert knowledge and skill required to perform such an operation. In such cases, victims may be eligible to claim compensation to cover the cost of private surgery, and we may be able to assist with this in some cases.

These medical devices were conceived with the aim of treating problems like pelvic organ prolapse and urinary incontinence, but have proved to be unfit for purpose for many patients. The complications that can be caused by vaginal mesh can be irreversible, as the implants are designed to be permanent. Corrective or removal surgery can be possible in some cases, but it is not easy.

If you have been harmed by vaginal mesh that has arisen from negligence, you should not have to pay to treat a condition that has been caused through no fault of your own. A claim for the cost of private surgery could, in some cases, form part of a wider medical negligence claim to account for the injustice you have suffered at the hands of medical professionals.

Negligent aftercare for vaginal mesh: claim compensation

A lot can go wrong with pelvic mesh procedures, and the impact in terms of complications and how they can cause permanent problems remain a significant cause for concern. Despite what we know about how badly things can go wrong, and despite thousands of women worldwide suffering, this controversial procedure is still being carried out here in the UK. Although a number of changes have been implemented that are supposed to avoid women being put at risk, we still see people being harmed. And when it comes to problems with aftercare, patients can suffer horrendously.
